Simpler life which hopefully continues on the other side. So you’re saying consider GC? You don’t want to be as far north as MPM was because that takes you out of quick striking distance to Northampton etc. Cummington, Goshen, Conway, Chesterfield are all rural but a little closer to civilization. Lots of houses at elevation with good snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sell that house for a million and build one for 500k and be in snow heaven plus excellent summers. You have become alot like me. Eat at home, walks with the dogs, simple stuff. Put a pool in and you won't need to leave the house. Happy retirement it really is like being a teenager all over, minus the hotties lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better snow climo and retention. Brutal springs though. You need to become a “spring bird” and leave every April and return Memorial Day.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Not sure if this was mentioned, but seems like pretty big news. Moderna Covid vaccine entering final testing stage after initial results showed positive immunity in everyone vaccinated, with normal side effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Shore Slop Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 "The results of the first tests on human volunteers were published Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The trials showed that two shots of the vaccine resulted in antibodies in the bloodstream equivalent to those in COVID-19 survivors." The only problem with that is the current number being used for antibody immunity is 6 weeks. That's quite an astronomical amount of shots that might be needed...

Well the point is....you get everyone vaccinated a few times, and keep vaccinating until the thing burns itself out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of culture, places to eat, bad snow retention/climo (good when you're old), but massive amounts of snow are only a short drive away with the best skiing in the NE. Then in the spring you miss all the mank and days of misery mist, then in the summer you torch which is great for spending days out on Champlain on your manitou pontoon.

My guess is some of the west coast states (WA/OR...perhaps CA and ID) average less. (After this post I'll do a quick google check...I'm sure there is a map out there lol). ME does average around 2 tornadoes per year though...my guess is that could be slightly higher but they can get some mean looking supercells in the deep summer months...far enough south to tap into the warmer/humid air and just far enough north to usually get better jet support or steeper lapse rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Back to looking towards Stowe,VT. We can sell, buy for straight cash and pocket the difference. Triple my snow in the process... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 We're not florida, But we can hold our own on TS, And as far as supercell and TORS go, We probably have more but they end up over areas that no one lives in the NNW part of the state so go unreported.

That's how I ended up in Randolph, a place I had never even heard of before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately too many trees and not enough people but they can get some nasty looking supercells. Cannot have too many trees. Back on topic - The Eagle Lake public lands, 22,000 acres just west of the town of Eagle Lake, has been blowdown central in recent decades. The tract shared (equally) a 600-acre blowdown with the township to the east in September 1986, a strip 4 miles long and up to a half mile wide with damage consistent with straight-line winds 90-100. Don't know if the folks at CAR did a ground check. Then 14-15 years ago a storm left a 15-mile string of blowdowns across 3 townships centered on the state tract, with most in patches 1-5 acres but with one 65-acre wipeout on the state land just south of Eagle Lake itself. The in 2013 (IIRC) an EF-0 tor in the town became straight-line wind and flattened about 200 acres along the north shore of Eagle Lake. We picked up about 3,000 cords of blowdown in both the first and last event, perhaps half that from the 65-acre patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
